We took some Rotary youth Exchange Students down on a football Saturday. We went to the skull session couldn’t afford football tickets, but then took them to the Thurman. Just a fun place to go like a neighborhood Tavern with good food. They were from Japan, Argentina, and Brazil, and they loved the burgers and fries and I can’t think of a better place to show them how Americans have a good time in a tavern with good American cooking.

We stopped at the Thurman Cafe for lunch while we were passing through Columbus.  It was easy to get to from I71 and wouldn’t be hard to get to from I70 either.  The Thurman Cafe isn’t a big place but we didn’t feel cramped as we enjoyed a great hamburger and fries.  They have a full bar but we just had coffee and water.  We both had the Thurman Burger and they were amazing.  The 3/4 pound burger is piled high with sliced ham, two cheeses, mushrooms and onions.  It is so big it’s a real challenge to try and figure out how to eat it.    I highly recommend this place as a must try if you’re in or passing through Columbus.  If you can stay in business since 1942 selling hamburgers you must be doing something right and I can testify that they’ve got it figured out.  Street parking in German Village can be a pain but we circled the block and found free parking on a side street 1/2 a block away.    Service was very good.  They were well staffed.

Best burger ever….

The Thurman Café absolutely lives up to the hype

I finally made it to The Thurman Café, and wow it absolutely lived up to the hype! The moment I walked in, I was hit with the fun, quirky atmosphere. The walls (and even the ceiling!) are covered in dollar bills, the bar is stocked, and the place just has this warm, buzzing energy that makes you want to stay a while.  Of course, I had to order one of their famous burgers, and it was hands down the biggest, juiciest burger I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, piled high with toppings, and full of flavor every bite was worth it. I paired it with a cold beer, and it was pure comfort food bliss.  The staff were friendly and quick, even with the place being packed. I did have to wait a bit for a table, but honestly, it was totally worth it. If you’re ever in Columbus and craving a burger that’s more of an experience than just a meal, this is the spot. I’m already planning my next visit.
